As cloud-native technologies continue to converge with traditional networking in the data center and enterprise, understanding how Kubernetes, Cilium and eBPF works is crucial for network engineers. With hybrid mesh firewalls being the latest trend, and distributed firewalls (like Cisco's Hypershield) emerging in the market. Understanding how Kubernetes transforms traditional IP networking concepts into a dynamic, software-defined environment is crucial. This article demystifies Kubernetes security, making it accessible for network engineers familiar with ACLs and VLANs. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but if you're planning a firewall refresh anytime soon, then these concepts will need to be part of your vernacular going forward.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) is essential.

Understanding how Kubernetes transforms traditional IP networking concepts into a dynamic, software-defined environment is crucial. This article demystifies Kubernetes observability, making it accessible for network engineers familiar with Logging and NetFlow. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but if your planning a firewall refresh anytime soon, then these concepts will need to be apart of your vernacular going forward.

Today we introduced the most consequential security product in Cisco's history: Cisco Hypershield. It's a cloud-native, AI-powered approach to highly distributed security for AI-scale data centers that's built into the fabric of the network.
